All Packed Up

I would be a single man from today until Sunday. Anita and the boys would be heading to Port Dickson this morning with her Mum. The boys were looking forward to it, a nice end to their long CNY break.

I did warn them that traffic could be a hindrance but they seemed psyched up for that. After all, they would be staying at the apartment - we had a fabulously underutilised seafront duplex top floor apartment there. So, no need to worry about accommodation.

All charged upI would be on call however, so I couldn't join them. I had a few things lined up for the weekend, and hopefully the calls won't be too bad - being a public holiday and all.

They would be back on Sunday - and prepare to leave for Gombak on Monday - before returning to school on Tuesday.

I'm sure they would have great fun. And some tan....‎

Hipster Walk

I finished my afternoon round early yesterday - I don't have afternoon clinics on Tuesdays - and left the hospital early. There were people doing some repairs at the apartment with my maid keeping an eye on things.

I decided to go do some errands and take my camera out as well.

Of all places, I ended up at Pavilion and Low Yat. And there were plenty of people there. But contrast that to weekends, there were not many hipsters and teenagers carrying their oversized DSLR round the place. It was just me....

And the weather was great. Great until ingot a phone call to return to the hospital for an emergency admission.

But I had a couple of hours to burn. Coffee and ice cream at the cafe, and just going around Low Yat checking what was new.

You could tell that there was nothing much going on when the main foyer at Low Yat was showcasing beddings. I knew this was Chinese New Year and all, but this ain't no Parkson! What wer were they thinking?

No new gadget to have a look at, just old stuff. The camera lens I wanted to buy was still not in stock. I spent the rest of the afternoon walking around Bukit Bintang instead.

Still trying to figure out who's idea it was to turn Low Yat into a bedding store ....The traffic back to Subang was surprisingly reasonable with the traffic police doing their job making sure the flow was good. Took me around 30 minutes to get from Pavilion to SJMC. Hmmm.... I must do this again!

Stay Extended

Instead of leaving the apartment to return to Gombak last Sunday, we decided to extend the stay until after Chinese New Year. The fact that the boys' school would be closed for almost ten days during the CNY period sealed the decision.

And I was happy with that.

That would make planning for Irfan's birthday easier to manage, and with me being on call during the CNY period, less headache for me.

Next thing would be slowly buying stuffs to fill up the apartment. The place was still bare. Homey touches desperately needed....

Across to Fahrenheit

I moved on after doing an initial sweep at taking photos at Pavilion foyer. I crossed the road from the fountain at the Bukit Bintang entrance which naturally took me to Fahrenheit. I thought I might as well have a quick peek.

Nothing fancy, but some cute decor. Animal theme and not just the horses. Neat. And less crowded than Pavilion.
